This 18th-century print by Georg Balthasar Probst depicts a view of the Weesbrug (Orphan Bridge) in Utrecht, Netherlands. The print showcases the bridge spanning the Oudegracht canal, with the Doopsgezinde Kerk (Anabaptist Church) towering in the background. This detailed etching and aquatint, created between 1742 and 1801, captures the city's bustling canal life, showcasing boats navigating the waterway, pedestrians strolling along the banks, and a carriage crossing the bridge. The print provides a valuable glimpse into the urban landscape of Utrecht during this period.
